Stomp: The Best of the Brothers Johnson is a compilation album by The Brothers Johnson, released in 2013.
Critical reception
Andy Kellman of Allmusic.com found this to be the best compilation of the group's work: "Going back to 1987's Classics, Vol. 11, there has been a handful of decent single-disc Brothers Johnson anthologies. Through 2012, the group still lacked a double-disc compilation to do proper justice to its catalog. A couple minor issues aside, Stomp: The Best of the Brothers Johnson -- released through Universal U.K.'s Spectrum division in 2013 -- is an ideal overview."
